There is no assertion of notability in this article. Of the two sources, one is not a reliable source, and one mentions this topic only in passing. Karanacs 01:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep this article is relevant to Jewish Texan history. Bhaktivinode 01:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Congregation B'nai Israel. The structure has a number of mentions in books on Jewish and/or Texas history but little notability beyond its association with the temple. --Dhartung | Talk 01:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to Congregation B'nai Israel as suggested above. There might be some architectural notability about the building, but it isn't listed on the National Register of Historic Places or anything. Outright deletion of this article would go too far, though. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 04:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to Congregation B'nai Israel. As of now, there doesn't seem to be enough subject specific content about the buildings and the Congregation B'nai Israel doesn't seem overly long for the transfer of content. --Oakshade 21:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletions. IZAK 04:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Article provides reliable and verifiable sources to support a claim of notability. Alansohn 04:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge into History of the Galveston Jewish Community or Congregation B'nai Israel because this article is part of a group of articles relating to Jews and Judaism in Texas (the others being James Simon (Businessman), Henry Cohen Community House, Jimmy Kessler, Rosa Levin Toubin, Simon Theatre Simon family, Joe Levin (Businessman), Alex Simon, Sam H. Toubin) that have been nominated for deletion by User Karanacs (talk · contribs) (and another, Temple Freda nominated by another user) yet taken as a whole these articles are a valuable set of records about a topic in a state with relatively few Jews and with an even scantier record of notable Jews, Judaism and Jewish history in it. There is indeed a great need for an article about History of the Jews in Texas and these articles would all be good starting points and resources for it. This article, like the others in this group, cite adequate sources and meet the minimal requirements to be kept. The nominator is requested to reconsider her nominations of these articles. Thank you, IZAK 05:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge as above. The article does not testify to its having significance independent of Congregation B'nai Israel. --11:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliyak (talk • contribs)
• Merge/redirect into History of the Galveston Jewish Community and Congregation B'nai Israel. At this time, with the available information currently on hand, the Henry Cohen Community House article should be merged into the Congregation B'nai Israel article and History of the Galveston Jewish Community article. If in the future, more information is gathered, then a stand alone article may be warranted. Nsaum75 23:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• REQUEST: In order to reach a greater consensus about the related "Texas Jews articles" that have been nominated for deletion, please see and add your views at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Nominations of Texas Jews articles for deletion. Thank you, IZAK 00:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge as this is sourced. It seems to be an ofset of the Congregation B'nai Israel article. Yahel Guhan 00:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
